I had to get a new point and shoot. Got it today. A few shots.

Picked up a Panasonic ZS7. I'm liking it. (but I'm feeling disloyal to my Nikon)

1. a few more

My tulips are for the trash bin :(

2. These are from a point and shoot???

Damn!

I would not have known if you hadn't said it.

The textures, the colors, the clarity...

Terrific!

Of course, you already know that each camera has weaknesses and strengths. And you'll use them appropriately...

Thanks for sharing, and congratulations!

:hi:

[Solly Mack]

3. Thanks, CP!

Yes... a point and shoot.

I'm taking it outside tomorrow to see what I find.

:hi:

4. Have fun!

These are wonderful.

5. Beautiful shots. Panasonic makes some nice P&S cameras. I also like

Their face recognition.

[Solly Mack]

6. Thanks, alfredo. I've been off attempting some moon shots from the balcony door.

Off to see what I got...if anything...worth keeping. My lack, not the camera's.

The salesman talked it up and I couldn't resist...needed one anyway. My husband was letting me use his Canon but it's too bulky for just grabbing it on the run.

I won a GE in a drawing but I'm not that fond of it. I did take the rainbow bottles with it though, so it's not all bad.

7. Use spot metering, and if you can, manual focus. I still haven't been able

to get a moon photo I like, but I keep trying.

[Solly Mack]

8. Thanks! I'll try that.

[alfredo]

9. I'm still learning. The camera I have is not suited to the task, still I can

Practice. Put the camera on timer so not to get shake.

13. Can you set exposure manually?

I get good moon shots at about f8 at 125th. Or somewhere around that.

[Solly Mack]

14. Yes. Thanks!!

[alfredo]

15. That's the settings that seem to work the best on my camera.

If you can set exposure compensation, play around with that to see what that does. It helped me combat the washing out of the image.

16. oops

[BuddhaGirl]

10. those are beautiful!!

I especially like the first one :-) I have a ZS3, and was wondering what settings you used for the first pic - I have trouble sometimes getting good macro shots like that one. :hi:

[Solly Mack]

11. Thanks! iA and allowed the camera to determine it was a macro.

I'm still learning it and started off with the camera in iA...I used flash...it was on auto flash.

[BuddhaGirl]

12. cool - thanks!!

17. those are real sweet, Nikon is great but, these change that....

[Saphire]

18. Really nice. The clarity is really sharp and I especially like the color in the first one.
